The great congregation His triumph shall Whose robe is the light, whose canopy sing,

Ascribing salvation to Jesus our King.

3 Salvation to God, who sits on the throne,
Let all cry aloud and honor the Son;
The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim,

chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,

And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

Fall down on their faces and worship the 3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can

breathes in the air, it shines in the light,

It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,

All honor and blessing, with angels above,
And thanks never ceasing, and infinite love. And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.

2 Let those refuse to sing

Who never knew our God;

But children of the heavenly King Should speak their joys abroad. 3 The men of grace have found

Glory begun below;

Celestial fruits on earthly ground
From faith and hope may grow.

4 The hill of Zion yields

A thousand sacred sweets

Before we reach the heavenly fields, Or walk the golden streets.

2 Our broken spirit pitying see; True penitence impart;

Then let a kindling glance from Thee Beam hope upon the heart.

3 When our responsive tongues essay Their grateful hymns to raise, Grant that our souls may join the lay And mount to Thee in praise.

4 When we disclose our wants in prayer
May we our wills resign;
And not a thought our bosom share
That is not wholly Thine.

5 May faith each meek petition fill
And waft it to the skies,

And teach our hearts 't is goodness still That grants it or denies.

1. LORD, with glow - ing heart I'd praise Thee, For the bliss Thy love be

[ocr errors][merged small][merged small]

For the par-d'ning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows;

Help, O God, my weak en - deav

or;

This dull soul to rap-ture raise:

Thou must light the flame, or never

Can my love be warm'd to praise. Amen.

2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee,
Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee
From the paths of death away:
Praise, with love's devoutest feeling,

Him, who saw the guilt-born fear,
And, the light of hope revealing,

Bade the blood-stained cross appear.

3 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express; Low before Thy footstool kneeling,

Deign Thy suppliant's prayer to bless: Let Thy grace, my soul's chief treasure, Love's pure flame within me raise, And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth Thy praise.
